Recent articles & product updatesDoes the Caveman skill actually save money? Sometimes
The Caveman skill is a rule file. It tells a coding agent to answer in fewer words and to leave code, commands, paths and error messages exactly as they are. It has more than 100,000 GitHub stars and a lot of people install it expecting a s
MCP servers cost tokens before you type anything
Connecting an MCP server feels free. Nothing happens until the agent calls a tool. But the tool's schema is in the prompt from the first request, and it stays there for every request after, whether the tool is ever used or not. This is the
What Claude Code actually bills you for
Most people picture their Claude Code bill as the text that scrolls past. It is not. The reply is the smallest of four counters, and the largest one is charged for text you wrote turns ago and have not looked at since. This is a plain descr
Headroom vs Caveman for prompt compression, measured
Headroom and Caveman solve the same problem from the same position. Both sit between a coding agent and its provider, both shrink tool output before it re-enters the context window, and both let the model fetch the original back. LiteLLM's

# Design Brief: Dark Developer (with Minimal Monochrome)
Deep dark surfaces, monospace typography, terminal/code snippets, and high-precision borders.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #030303;
--surface: #141414;
--foreground: #eeeeee;
--muted-foreground: #969696;
--accent: #f4f4f4;
--radius: 8px;
--font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #030303 (~74%) · Surface #141414 (~15%) · Text #EEEEEE (~6%) · Muted Text #969696 (~3%) · Accent #F4F4F4 (~2%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
## Layout & Conversion Structure
- Hero layout: Headline Over Large Product Shot
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Dark · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Illustration / Character Art
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension · Trust bar uses Stacked Avatars & Testimonials
- Headline hook: Pain Relief & Replacement
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot, Custom Illustration, Metrics Strip
- Spatial layout notes: Headline Over Large Product Shot hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and stacked avatars & testimonials.
- Visual summary: Dark Developer (Dark canvas, balanced density) featuring headline over large product shot layout and illustration / character art visuals.
## Avoid
- Warm pastel backgrounds
- Playful cartoon illustrations
- Oversized pill buttons everywhere
Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
